does anyone take this with coQ10 for pvcs? both my parents take it and i just take coq10 but noticed the one i bought last night at target had the l carnitine in it also. i have read conflicting things about it online, one written by dr oz saying don't take it. my mom follows a dr sinatra she has seen on many tv shows and he has a web page. he is all for it.
anyone know anything about it or take it?

My cardio doc started me on CoQ10 as part of an overall good thing for heart health.

l-carnitine I believe is an amino acid thats is also found in Some Heart supplements like ones offered by dr. Sinatra on his website he discusses it when he talks about reducing PVC's which he himself has suffered from in medical school

Ok larry even though I've been using the albuterol my heart rates been higher than usual way after I take it and I've also been taking the co q10 with L carnitine so now I'm wondering if it's the L carnitine that's doing it because I just googled that and this is found in energy drinks also. I won't be taking that anymore just thought I'd share that with you

did you just start taking it also?

Hazel,

Has your heart rate just recently been higher? I noticed when you posted on my thread that you mentioned you've been sick recently. Being sick causes your heart rate to increase a deent amount because your body is working harder to fight off a virus or bacteria.

Just thought I would throw that out there.

yes Park - but not when i first got sick when i felt the worst so i thought odd. i know albuterol can do that but it lingers on for long after i use it. like it's in the 90s this morning upon waking. what is yours when sick?
i just was reading about lcarnitine and some body builders have a forum and said it can do this too.

so thought it may be it. i also read that if you take thyroid meds, which i do, it can make them work more efficiently which could increase the hr also. i'll stop and see what happens. i can't even remember how many times i took it or if i took it monday night the first time when i woke up in the middle of the night with the high hr. think i did. so i actually counted the bottle last night to see how many i have took (yes i know ha) and it said there are 50 in the bottle. there were still 50 and i know i took some - in fact have some in my vitamin thing at work. interesting huh, that sometimes they don't count them properly.

anyway, how are you feeling?

When I wake it's in the high 80's, low 90's and right now for instance, it's 105. My normal lately has been in the high 70's, so I know this is related to illness.

I'm awful actually. Going back to the doctor this afternoon. Today is antibiotic day 4 and I've only gotten much worse. :-(

i'm sorry - feel better soon!! i hope they can give you something to help. it sucks i know!! how is your baby? i hate it when the children are sick. my son had rsv once and it's scary. i will keep you in my prayers!

Thanks, Hazel! My son seems so much better. His cough is still lingering, but no fever so he's in a much better mood!

Hazel, i have been on Co-Q10 for a long time, also vit D-3, C, and Fish oil, my heart rate this noon thats
when i checked it at Kroger was 134/70 x p70, i think it was because i felt better in the general sense.
Peace

yeah I was talking about the L carnitine Larry. I didn't take it today and my heart rate is normal now so I'm not convinced it wasn't that. I've been taking coq10 for about 6 months now too and don't have any problems with that either
